They belong to different racial stocks and religious back grounds and speak different dialects. Discrimination against women, occupational differentiation, and emphasis on status and hierarchical social ordering that characterize the predominant mainstream culture are generally absent among tribal groups. Higher education is education or learning at a College or University. The Accessibility to higher education for Students from scheduled tribe in Attapady is increasingly opting distant places due to the shortage of higher education facilities in their region.
